THE NECESSARY EVIL.
Tee official rcturni ot the vote tn
Ohio, on September 3rd., aa reported
for 68 counties, faror tha retenslon
of capital punhhnient by mora than
30,000 majority.
It means a great deal when 229,670
votera retain capital punishment
when they are changing other conser
vatlve laws, and by heavy majoritiea
adopt narly all of the two ecore
amendment to the atate constitution.
Those who dislike the Infliction of
the penaly of death may well pause
and look beyond the law Itself to the
code of defensive and protective stat
utes of wMch It Is a part.
Aa death la the extreme penalty for
the greatesVfrime, It of necessity
occupiea a position at the top ot the
criminal code. From this extreme
downward to the smallest misdemean
or the penalties of the code are grad
ed. When the extreme penalty shall
be abolished, the entire scale of leas-
er penaltiea become affected, the
tame aa when the key-atone ot an
arch la removed, every atone In the
atmcture ia loosened.
This ia more readily observed In
prison discipline. Men serving for
life may kill their keepers and suffer
no penalty. Reallxing thla, the guards
at the Ohio State Penitentiary stated
that their lives would not be under
the protection of the law It abolition
of the death penalty for murder pre
vailed. The murderous convicts at the
Jackson, Michigan, prison, are with
out the deterrent influences of the
punishment ot death, and the best
that the authorities can do ia to
give them the punishment ot torture.
This indicates that the abolition of
capital punishment in Michigan has
been a long stride toward barbarism.
Rhode Island, which abolished cap
ital punishment about the same time
that Michigan did, had the same diffi
culty In controlling her, prisoners, un
til, in preference to adopting torture,
the law ot capital punishment for
atate prison convicts was enacted.
Like the knife ot the surgeon or
the gardener, the cutting oft from so
ciety of the life ot the murderer ia
a necessary evil.
"The humanity of the law teeis
every pain It Inflicts, but it uses evu
as a means of preventing greater

tu dlsclislng the American tariff
board's report on wool, an official of
the Royal Imperial Mlnlstcry of Com
merce of Austria, recanted aa tha

tariff question, aald:
"It la an excellent standard work.
The tariff board has come within a
very short) time to the head ot all
the similar boards established a long

has ever been presented to It a bet

are tired of Taft and good times, and

The Democratic Congress which re
cently adjourned, contemptuously dis
missed the non-partisan tariff board
which, at the Instance of President
Tatar bad been making exhaustive
and scientific investigations into tar
iff problems. Valuable information
wheh the board had gathered was
thrown away by the Democrats, who
proceeded to draft their tariff bill in
the secrecy of the committee room.
In abolishing the tariff board, the
Democrats had the aid ot some of
those who are now loud in support of
the Third Term Party. The leader!

ROOSEVELT'S GOOD TRUSTS.
The people are at last learning the
truth aboue Roosevelt's prosecution
of the trusts especially i certain
good" trusts. The Harvester trust
seems to be Roosevelt's idea of the
good kind. It wag organized in 1902
while Roosevelt was president and
has a capital of one hundred and
twenty millions, although it asset
at the time of its organization were
only twenty milllonaj Including the
value ot all the plant absorbed by
the corporation. So it has since been
paying dividends on the one hundred
millions of watered stock. Yet Roose
velt, while president restrained the
department of justice from prosecut
ing this, trust for violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law. Mr. ftenrze
and standard bearer of that party injw prkln of elecuUve
tee of the Harvester trust convinced
his speeches in a recent article in his
magazine, likewise ha. treated the
board with contempt However, he
urges the establishment of a new sort
of tariff commission.
In accrdance with the habit ot his
mind, he turn to Germany for his
ideal of such a commission. It 1 a
curious fact that, though always as
serting his belief in the ability of the
people to rule, he invariably selects
a rigid bureaucratic model whenever
proposing nsw governmental machin
ery for this republic.
While the Democrats and the Third
termers are condemning, more by si
lence than by direct attack, the Amer
ican tariff commission, it is interest
ing to observe that from Europe
Roosevelt this was a "good" trust ;
So, when President Taft instruct
ed the department of Justice to prose
cute the Harvester trust and the pros
ecutions were Instituted, Mr. Perkins
became angry. This action also of
fended Mr. Harold McConnlck John
D. Rockefeller' son-in-law and ape
of the chief owner af the Harvester
trust. This explains why Mr. Perkins
and the McCormicks are financing the help build the county roads, and that

well afford to.
meetings, and 'ultimate bond issue
with its hostility to state aid and di
vision of road cost between city and
county, destroy the chance of uni
formity." There, that settles It Here
Is another "opinion." "Does anyone
imagine that delegates whose quali
fication of election was ambition to
have a road, each by hi own door,
would ever agree upon particular
roads to be Improved?"
Yes, Mr. Dana, such a thing Is pos
sible and it is done every year in this
state. When road district vote a
special tax for road Improvement In
the district they provide by resolu
tion what particular road are to be
Improved and the portion to be ex
pended on each. Road districts In
fifteen counties voted a special tax
In 1910 to the amount of nearly $175.-000-
It is usually decided at these
meetings the nature of the Improve
ment to be made and the material
to be used. But Mr. Dana has not
heard of this and he goes on as fol
lows: "Or that each with his own
pet Ideas of cost and kind of material
would ever accept a dissenting view?"
"Isn't that awful, how stubborn and
Ignorant the members of the common
herd are? It is a blessing that we
have a few highbrows to led them
aright It is strange that road dis
tricts, especially In the country, ac
complish anything, when everyone
brlng3 a pet Idea.
The Grange opposes the Harmony
state bill because it provides for a
bond issue that will cost the taxpay
ers $2.35 in interest and principle
for every dollar that Is expended on
the roads while a direct levy of one
and one-tenth mills will raise the
amount and save the Interest. If we
are to have atate aid let the funds
be raised by a levy and not by tax
bond.
The Harmony bills provide for an
unnecessary sinking fund for the pay
ment of the bonds. Several bonds
should be paid by a direct levy
Where will the state get this "state
aid" fund? Won't it come from the
counties and will It gain anything In
strength and value by being passed
over to the state? But you say that

Mr. Dana say that the Orane plan
as outlined Is condemned by the best
after the cessation of oratory
refreshrjjents were served. Rev. J.
R. Landsborough waa president of the
meeting and Rev. U. N. Edward was
an interester member of the audience.
Mr. McLarty, who championed the
cause of Mr. Taft, made a fine impres
sion. He called attention to what the
president had accomplished, and de
clared this was not the time to elect
either Colonel Roosevelt or Professor
Wilson. His argument was well pre
snted and the applause which punc
tuated his address indicated that the
president had the largest number of
friends in the audience. Mr. Telford,
the original Hull Moose man of Clack
amas County, did not mince matters.
He admitted the Colonel carried a big
stick and declared that it had been
used for the best interest of the
country. Mr. Telford ald the condi
tions were unusual and that Colonel
Roosevelt probably was the best man
In the country to be afthe helm. He
recited briefly what Mr. Roosevelt
had accompllHhed, declaring that the
Colonl had been robbed at Chlcoga
and said ha would be elected if the
people realized the candidate who
stood for their Interests,
Major Noble said there was little
question as to Mr. Wilson' election.
He declared that the Republican par
ty was hoplesnly divided, which
could mean nothing else than Demo
cratic victory. The speaker aaserted
that, unless conditions changed, the
Democratic nominee would be wept
Into the white house on a tidal wave.
The meeting wa harmonious
throughout, and wa uch a big suc
cess that It was decided to have a
similar debate with the same speak
er at the next meeting, which, will
be a few day before tha election.
